    We were greeted promptly as we walked in. It has open seating. Though we were passing through the place was busy with locals coming in with small parties and large parties. We were served salsa and bean dip with chips as we looked over the large menu selection. Our server was attentive and brought us our water while we read over the many options. The portions are huge and the food was good. One table over the gentleman order a dish that required the chef to come out and use a torch to crisp up the top before putting his seafood on top. It was an impressive demonstration.

    $20 Nachos

    I cannot recommend, $20 for the smallest plate of nachos I have ever had. Food is ok but the cost per portion is ridiculous

    The food, service, and ambiance at this small town restaurant are all exceptional!! Great Mexican food at good prices. It's clean, neat, and nicely decorated. We have been here twice in the last month. My only regret is that the servings are so big that I haven't been able to try the fried ice cream dessert!! Maybe next time!

    I had the steak fajitas and my son had the cielo, mar and tierra molcajate. We both left satisfied and full. We will be coming back!

    Expensive and very Americanized. Not worth it. Service was good but the food was bland , and simple. No much to it.

    Glad to have this place in town as everything else is far away and Campestre in Newman truly sucks.

    On the long I-5 trek between the Bay Area and Southern California my general rule is to make one…read morestop, filling up the car, emptying the bladder, and having lunch at In-N-Out. This trip was no different except I'd begun in a different city than usual which changed the time and place that I stopped. While filling the gas tank at the Arco in Santa Nella I couldn't help but notice the taco truck (with shaded seating area) on the far edge of the property. Any plans for In-N-Out evaporated when I walked over and checked out the offerings. 6 tacos later ($2.86 each; 4 carne asada, 1 al pastor, 1 carnitas shared between two people) we'd both declared this place a winner. Had it not been so hot out I'd have also purchased a burrito for later. Or perhaps the 3 enchiladas for $7. Or maybe some quesabirrias. You see where I'm going. I thought the tacos here were declicious and was pretty certain I'd find the rest of the menu no different. Fresh and spicy salsas as well as a plop of grilled onions made these tacos as enticing as any In-N-Out burger and that's a compliment to both places. If you find yourself looking for very good Mexican fare in Santa Nella, look no further.

    On our roadtrip to LA we stopped at this spot for some tacos. Not knowing anything about this place…read morewe loved the food here. The chicken tacos was probably one of the best that ive had and i love when we get grilled jalapenos and onions with the tacos! Salsa was also good and flavorful. We didnt wait too long and there was not many people ahead of us, not much else to say! Great chicken tacos & good vibes obviously they are a food truck so locations will vary!
